Welcome to AMTEC

The AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY TESTING AND EVALUATION CENTER (AMTEC) was established in 1977 by virtue of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).This was in recognition for an official testing agency to promote a self- reliant agricultural machinery industry that would cater to the needs of the Filipino farmers.

Philippine Agricultural Engineering Standards

The latest PAES, Volume X for rice production and post-production machinery and storage warehouse are already available. The standards were developed through a 2-year project (September 2013 to August 2015) which was part of the PCAARRD-DOST Rice Mechanization Program. The standards (as well as other PAES) may be downloaded free from the AMTEC website. Please see:http://amtec.uplb.edu.ph/index.php/standards/volume-x
